Mountain safety

Having a great week ski touring around verbier, learning more about avalanche safety, hiking, skiing the glacier, digging snow pits on top of a frozen lake, learning to guide off piste.  Last day of exams tomorow, then back to Champery.

In the words of a welsh man ‘a hellish good day’

Skiing in the morning.

BMX track in the afternoon.

Riding downhill in the early eivening.

Followed by a beer and pizza.

What a crackin day :) Caught a few cool pics. One of a plane flying lower than us which is always a novelty.  Then another of The sloth and the Jew hiking up to a small peak.

Another

Amazing day.

Hiking ridges.

Lots of pow.

Some adrenaline.

No time for any photos,

and some very tired legs :)

Maggie´s Royal Miler in all its glory by the lake in Montreux, Switzerland.

Apart from riding along the lake with this gorgeous view all day long, I also gave Rebecka a small treasure hunt. Involving clues and puzzling poems to solve along the way which eventually led to her finding an engagement ring and me getting down on one knee on the rocks.

A very eventful day indeed!  Which was then followed by an eivening of champagne and drunken speaches from our friends on the stage in the bar! :)

Apres ski.

The new mini half pipe we built right outside of our mates chalet in the centre of the village

Unless someone is going to tell me otherwise I do believe that what I may have found today, in one of our local swiss supermarkets is some pigs testicles all packaged up and ready to be eaten!

My latest addition to our tandem bicycle will be an old bike radio from the 70´s I won it as a prize from a drawing competition in the local bar! It comes with horn and light included…. So old skool, can not wait to test it out haha!

fishing trip

In Switzerland they have deep, deep bins about 3 metres. today Rebecka dropped her glove in the bin whilst putting the rubbish in.  After visiting my friend Fred and mentioning it to him he came up with the great idea of using a fishing rod.

so if you can picture me and rebecka, litterally fishing out of a deep, smelly bin in the snow I´m sure it will brighten your day.

Dropping in....

This morning Fred and Thierry and I went to find some new lines and powder snow. These pictures show how we found it……..
